Currently, the app use blacklist for both adBlock and Firewall, while this is good for adBlock, but is it possible to have a whitelist for Firewall? I.e., by default, none of the app can access interent.

Use check boxes is clearer because I do not know which side of the slider is on.

If you could put wi-fi and cell data onto the same page and put all "Not blocked" apps on the top that would be better. (Same as NetGuard and AFWall+)

If you could put all related apps together like AFWall+ or sync the related apps like NetGuard that would be better.

On the app list, I cannot find GPS daemon and mediaserver? I can find these apps on NetGuard.

Please also put AdClear on the list.
[Android Apps and Games] iHeymanth:
OMG! this is working perfectly with all apps. Thank you so much. cheers man!
[Android Apps and Games] tafo:
The app is working great, thank you for the spent efforts, the issue that im facing that its consuming allot of internet data...is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Thank you for the suggestions!

Are those apps still not appearing?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Has this changed for you? Sorry for the late response.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey there. Sorry for the late response. If you're still with us, sometimes there still exists a record of the certificate even though its uninstalled. You'll want to clear all credentials in your android settings.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey there. Sorry for the late response. This is something we're compiling, as we don't want to make a definitive list. Some apps we're fixing, and some introduce new features that snooze will break. Generally, the OS will always be fine unless you're rooted. We;re working on putting snooze "risk" into our app descriptions, but most of your examples are fine, depending on the mail/messaging apps you are using.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
hey there. Sorry for the late response, and we're sorry to lose you! Did you try sending us logs, and was our support any helpful if so?

We'll sometimes cause connection problems, especially when switching between wi-fi and cell service, but it's something we're optimizing. The permissions thing has been a big hurdle for us since day one, as several of them we do not use and don't understand why they're given to us. We recommend apps for YouTube at times when they figure out ways around us. It's a chess battle for us, and we want to provide our long-term users with options whenever we're "losing."

I totally get your frustration but hope you check back with us in the future!
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Just now read this haha. Glad to hear it's working.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Do you have any other VPNs on your device?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
That's not normal, unless you're reading that through your battery monitor. By using the VPN, Android believes most internet traffic is coming from it. You'll notice your browser, video apps, etc, use less data at the same time. Unfortunately that's just a thing Android does for battery apps.
[Android Apps and Games] tafo:
Thank you for your reply, im checking the data usage as it shows in the attached photo, kindly ignore the dates because i used internet data just one day. For a couple of hours. And i noticed the data consumption
[Android Apps and Games] M4T145:
Hello, how can I test this App?

The web page says that there are too many testers.
[Android Apps and Games] proza:
Thank you for reading my thread, and yes, I cannot find those apps (GPS daemon, mediaserver and AdClear), I am using Huawei Honor 8, Android N 7.0.

The Ad blocker slider for Duo does not work.
[Android Apps and Games] Filo90:
I have a problem with my MotoG5 plus and AdClear, when phone enter deep sleep with doze and I turn on the phone, a notification appear for a second or so telling me that vpn has been disabled by doze......is this a bug? I tried to put AdClear under unoptimazied apps in battery settings but I still have this problem.....
[Android Apps and Games] bauwoo:
Having speed issues with this app like others in this post. I'm using a Galaxy S8+.

Without app on:

App turned on:

Any fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] tafo:
And i was checking the wifi data consumption, its so high for a ads blocker?! anything wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] misc6207:
That's strange. Mine doesn't use much data at all, and it's definitely working.
[Android Apps and Games] tafo:
Thats weird, [MENTION=7253675]SEVEN_AdClear[/MENTION] said that due to battery reading method on android, adclear shows high internet consumption ..i don't know if i understand it correctly
[Android Apps and Games] mickyw1980:
Maybe because that's a different app?
[Android Apps and Games] misc6207:
Haha, I forgot I uninstalled AdClear and switched to Blockada. Oops
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Can you send us logs through the app? We'd like to take a look at what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
There should be a miniscule hit when using AdClear (talking kilobytes), but this is obviously wrong. Send us logs and we'll take a look at what's going on. That performance is unacceptable.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Yes, this is simply the internet traffic routing through AdClear. In actuality, AdClear's daily usage is very average.
[Android Apps and Games] apka528:
Hi any one please provide the latest version l8nk

[Android Apps and Games] tafo:
Thanks bro for the clarification ???
[Android Apps and Games] Linuxephus™:
Settings>Adblocking>User Filters.

I could've sworn I listed that in my initial comment. Regardless, apologies for the overly late reply. And that should answer your question.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Sure thing! It's rather frustrating, as it's a byproduct of using the Android's VPN.
[Android Apps and Games] mel2000:
My question still hasn't been answered. Which of the 3 tabs on the "User Filters" screen should the hosts file URL be placed under ("block", "white list", or "SSL bypass")?

I think the answer is "block" but I'd like assurance from the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey there, sorry for not responding. Linuxephus had given you the answer that I would have. What you're asking isn't currently a feature in AdClear, but it's something we're working on. Though it sounds simple to implement, we would have to refactor a lot of backend code to do it. That will take some planning in order to not cause any effects on ad blocking performance.
[Android Apps and Games] azumukupoe:
Are there any way I can translate the app to my primary language (Japanese)?
[Android Apps and Games] TaZeR369:
This is great software I really like it, the auto update and the auto start at boot options are nice for seamless integration but I have noticed the auto start not working on my phone, so I use a separate app to do it, maybe look into this its easier for my mom that way, the phone is ZTE Grand X4 if that matters. Rock on!
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Not right now. We want to bring that support eventually, but we want to make sure the languages used accurately and respectfully, rather than passed through a translation app. We're a small team, so figuring out the logistics of that will be a problem in-and-of itself.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Thanks for letting us know. If you haven't already, contact support inside the app, so we'll be able to see what's happening. We've seen this occur for a couple of different reasons.
[Android Apps and Games] Linuxephus™:
Correction: As you can clearly see, you were given the correct answer originally and now for the second time. That little blue circle, with the white plus sign in the bottom right of the screenshot is where you Add additional filter lists. More paying attention to what is written goes a long ways towards others not having to repeat themselves with an instruction set which was very clear and concise in it's dictation.
[Android Apps and Games] mel2000:
My question wasn't about adding filter lists so much as which tab they fell under. Thanks for providing a screenshot to finally address my question. So "block" was the answer after all.

That's an odd statement from the dev since it contradicts the screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] Linuxephus™:
Yet your question was answered twice by myself be that as it may, as adding additional filters for blocking ads can only be added in Block Tab, which was and remains obvious by the very labeling of that particular tab mate.

Block Tab: Filters for blocking additional ads.

White List Tab: What domains not to block.

SSL Tab: Https domains to be bypassed.
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Hi, thanks for great app. I am using it for couple of weeks now on my note 8 (no root) and it works great. I have found two annoyances thus far. One is app which does not seem affected by ad blocking and it is called tmw Inter. It is app that relay news about soccer squad Inter and it uses Facebook targeted ads. Both https and ipv6 are enabled but it bugs me how it sneaks behind AdClear. Other bug is that Transdrone does not connect to my home Transmission server. When I disable AdClear everything is ok. I have excluded app from ad blocking and does not have firewall and snooze enabled. Server is on local network and there should be no reason to get blocked.

Thanks in advance for reply.
[Android Apps and Games] Lordcolus:
The app seems work quite well. I stop seeing AD even on Chrome with Data saving option on. However, I keep seeing this message from time to time on my Pixel 2. Is it a bug or I need to some system setting?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Sorry, we were confused when it seemed that Linuxephus's answer didn't help.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Do you have any other VPNs? If not, are you seeing any interruptions in service? This could be a bug.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey there. We'll take a look at the first application. If the ads are directly from facebook, they're usually unblockable.

Could you describe your server setup in more detail?
[Android Apps and Games] Lordcolus:
I noticed the VPN icon was on and off sometime. At that, I install Blokada at the same time. But I believed I already turned off it and associated auto-start function.
[Android Apps and Games] DANIELWHITT:
Hello,

Been using your app for a long while now, just bought a new phone and downloaded the app from the website, when setting up the app from scratch, the screens which greet you at the start, where you swipe for more info about the features, the text on a few of the pages is all over the place, not centred and all in line with pictures as it should be, app still works fine but my ocd kicked in epic style when I saw it. Lol. Just thought you should know.
[Android Apps and Games] DANIELWHITT:
One photos shows how I assume it should look, the other two completely offset..
[Android Apps and Games] proza:
Every time I updated an app, the firewall settings of that app needs to be set again.
[Android Apps and Games] mel2000:
My experience confirms that behavior. Very annoying and inconvenient.
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Unsettling privacy policy. Think I'll stick with blokada.
[Android Apps and Games] mel2000:
Best to stick with what you're comfortable with. However, Blokada isn't a substitute if you also need a firewall.
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Truth be told I also use adguard which does have a firewall and HTTPS. And a less unsettling privacy policy.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
This is on the Huawei in your signature?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
I understand your hesitation to use AdClear. Our Privacy Policy is extensive in order to cover our array of different products. A lot of it doesn't pertain to AdClear, but having said that, we do collect anonymous analytics, mostly pertaining to interactions with Android. We're always open to considering new paid models of the application as well.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Sorry I missed your message. If this is still occurring, I'd try temporarily uninstalling Blokada to see if that's a fix. It's probably a settings hang-up somewhere in Android.
[Android Apps and Games] DANIELWHITT:
Yes, my Mate 10 Pro..
[Android Apps and Games] math.teach:
Hi. Download links are nor available. Can you fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Appreciate it. It's probably a resolution issue. I'll get a ticket filed.
[Android Apps and Games] Ned12:
“Adclear has been disabled. Tap anywhere to enable.”

I installed Adclear on my Android 7.0 phone. The following message is displayed underneath a key symbol (Android VPN symbol): “Adclear has been disabled. Tap anywhere to enable.”

Tapping has no effect. When I tap on the grey button at the top of the screen it toggles blue for a second and then returns to grey.

I am running Windscribe VPN and Adblock Plus for Android. Stopping these apps has no effect.
[Android Apps and Games] mel2000:
AdClear is a VPN app. Android doesn't allow running two VPNs at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] Lexx Diamond:
This app is one of the best things I ever installed on any android. My sons tablet was nearly useless until I install this app. Thanks again.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
Can't seem to download as well. Also the link to the website doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] prisim:
Download disabled ?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey there! That link is here. We'll get it fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] proza:
After the recent update, the home screen only show Ad blocker.

When using Settings->Manage apps, it also only show Ad blocker.

If newly installed, both home screen and Settings->Manage apps show correctly.

In the app list, I cannot find Facebook and Instagram, needed for firewall control.

Unable to control firewall on "Google Play Store" any more on newly installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Surfing_Legend:
Seconded. Working perfectly on my Note 8. Have tried other VPN apps and this one works fantastically. Highly recommended.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
This might be a bug if I'm understanding you correctly. Send us a connection report through the app so that we can take a look at what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Thank you both! We couldn't have gotten to this level without the amazing help we've received from the XDA communityl.
[Android Apps and Games] mel2000:
Click on the entry listing for any specific app and a details page will display for you to configure full blocking for that app.
[Android Apps and Games] Taitran7070:
Tks ad made great app .

What name version last app , now ??

Tks seven
[Android Apps and Games] proza:
How to do that?
[Android Apps and Games] JoshuaFCB:
why are all the download links broken?
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
Exactly, why are the download links down?
[Android Apps and Games] vopordna:
download links are still down.
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
Is this dead?
[Android Apps and Games] gernasam:
download links are still not working:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] pelops71:
I have installed it to my Neffos X1 with the Android 7.0 and for some reason the Adclear gets killed after a few minutes the screen goes off and gets locked. Then, whenever I need adblocking, I have to re-open the app. Could you please help me? What am I possibly doing wrong? I have installed the certificates and given Admin to the app.
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
You can always get it from their website... Oddly I clicked "download", and it seems to be dead. But going through "Install AdClear" works.

https://www.seven.com/android-adblocker-download.php
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
Thank you, using this is secure right? I was using ADguard but doesn't seem so good as this one, on a non-rooted phone
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
You will need to be the judge of that. You can view their privacy policy, it basically says they collect anonymous data but don't plan to do anything with it at the moment. (Anyone correct me if I'm wrong)

Basically, all apps now days do that anyway.

It's a good app, I wouldn't discredit it right away because of the privacy concerns as this app often does take flak for privacy. The company has been around for a long time, I believe they helped develop a lot of things like push email back in the day...

It does work very well.

Edit: I personally don't use this app. I try it from time to time, but with root access there are better ways.
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
Thanks for the fast reply, I guess Adguard probably does the same on the data aspect i don't know, are you using this or any other blocker?
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
I don't think Adguard does actually. Both apps work quite well except Adguard is a paid service.

I'm not 100 percent sure though. Give both a try and find which you like better. I'm just glad there are so many great options.

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/5ncaf2/_/
[Android Apps and Games] pelops71:
Removing it from the list of battery optimized apps and unchecking the "off screen cleanup" option from the app options did the trick. It works now perfectly and flawlessly blocking all the scam that others try to deliver.

Now with nougat it works. Does anyone know if it will work with oreo?
[Android Apps and Games] Surfing_Legend:
I've tried a lot of other VPN apps out there and Adclear is very hard to beat especially if you're non rooted.

I did find a useful setting on my non rooted Samsung Note 8 in settings - more connection settings - VPN, there's an option to keep your VPN enabled at all times that might help you or others experiencing Adclear stopping and have tried other options without success. It's switched OFF as default. Other android devices may have a similar setting. See screenshots.

Hope that helps you and others.
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
I wanted to check on the app to be honest, im changing to the Samsung S9+ in a few days and i wanted to see how non rooted adblockers are, because adblocking was one of the major reasons i rooted my phones but now with this type of options i won't root i guess , but thanks for the info from you guys :)
[Android Apps and Games] pelops71:
It works wonderfully. I had to turn off the "off screen cleanup" for this app, else I had to re-open it every time the screen was going off. It blocks all ads. Not sure why, it even blocks youtube ads without using Parallels as instructed on the website. I love it! Well done to the makers! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Sorry! Fixed it. I've been prepping for a move for the past week and forgot to fix it. We've actually got a big announcement coming soon!
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey there. I know this is probably pretty annoying. Do you have any other VPNs, or do you have any power saving features (through Android) turned on?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Oh whoops, was scrolling through notifications instead of the thread. Yeah, that was probably what was making this happen. AdClear works with Oreo, but you might consider uninstalling and doing a clean install after upgrading to make sure your protection is valid.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Thank you! If you need anything, let us know.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Just to assuage some concerns, our analytics are primarily interested in app interactions and interactions with the VPN function itself. We all know that mobile VPNs still have a long way to go compared to the desktop variety. Of course, we don't actually use a VPN, just the Android functionality, but the same problems apply.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Go to Settings (under the menu in the top right), Help and Feedback, Report a Problem, then select which issue best applies. It'll let you send us an email with your info.
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
I like big announcement :D lets go :D
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
We're pretty excited for it.
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
Didn't seen so on that post man you have to put some smiles and confetis!
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hahaha, we should have some news soon. :good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] Kloosek:
And when will it be soon? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
very, very!

Are you still seeing Google Ads? I would make sure you're updated, and make sure there is no "Fix Now" alert on your screen. I'm unable to see ads on my end.

What Android version do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
Every time i open a bookmark i get a message saying

"Connection interrupted It was detected one alteration on your network" ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED,"

A bookmark specifically? That seems really peculiar. Go ahead and send us a a message under Help & Feedback > Network issue. Be sure to let us know what browser you're using. We'd like to see what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] boris03:
What is this? Download Link is not working, noon of the links
[Android Apps and Games] DemonSoul:
Any bookmark to be honest i get that notification if i go to the help &feedback i dont have any option for network issue , but its this program i took it out, and i didnt get any more
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
I think XDA is performing maintenance right now. It should be back up momentarily.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Oh that's unfortunate. Such an odd error, but I understand why it'd make you uninstall. I meant connection issue, I apologize. Hope you check out AdClear again in the future!
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
Using Oreo on my oneplus 3t and still getting the ads. Not done anything like changing settings or anything. All default.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
You might want to clear credentials or reinstall the certificate. It seems like something has "broken loose" so to speak. Resetting should return it to normal.
[Android Apps and Games] emanuelrv:

[Android Apps and Games] proza:
I did send you an email, and you ask me to send a screen shoot. I do not know how to attach the screen shoot.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
At the bottom of the email box should be the ability to either attach a screenshot or attach from your gallery.
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
Done everything that you suggested and still getting ads. Very odd indeed and frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
And you are using HTTPS Filtering? Go to Help & Feedback > Report A Problem > Ads not blocked in a specific app, then let us know which app it is. It will get our developers notified. Mention you're from XDA. Sorry for all the trouble.
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
Please don't apologize. Will report it. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey guys. It seems like XDA is having some trouble with maintenance that's preventing downloads. In the meantime, you can do so from our website.
